A new adventure in a galaxy far, far away looms in Star Wars Outlaws—but when exactly does the Ubisoft title release? We’ve got the answer, but there are two approaches, as Ubisoft is offering an early access launch.
Star Wars Outlaws claims the title as the first open-world game in the Star Wars franchise and, crucially for many, its story doesn’t revolve around the Jedi Order. Instead, players “join the galaxy’s most wanted.”
Read on to find out exactly when you can play Star Wars Outlaws.
Star Wars Outlaws release time and date
Star Wars Outlaws releases on Aug. 30 (or Aug. 29, depending on your time zone) for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Ubisoft has confirmed Outlaws releases at midnight local time for those playing on a console, meaning you get access when the clock hits midnight in your region. Our countdown below is set to midnight CT on Aug. 30.
Outlaws’ PC release, however, will be staggered, with the game going live at varying times across the globe. Below is a list of some key region release times and dates:
- New York (EDT) – 12am on Aug. 30.
- Los Angeles (PDT) – 9pm on Aug. 29.
- Sydney (AEST) – 12am on Aug. 30.
- London (BST) – 11pm on Aug. 29.
- Mexico City (CST) – 10pm on Aug. 29.
If you’re impatient and want to play Star Wars Outlaws as early as possible, there is a way to do that—but it will cost you.
Star Wars Outlaws early access release time and date
By purchasing the Ultimate or Gold Edition of Star Wars Outlaws, you get the Season Pass and three days early access to the title—meaning it releases for you on Aug. 27 (or Aug. 26, depending on your time zone).
Star Wars Outlaws early access is live, and is now available for players to jump into the Trailblazer, Kay Vess’ ship, and begin working on their reputation to become a powerful player in the galaxy’s underworld. You have a long way to go to deal with the many factions and crime families, and you might even recognize many of the characters from the big-screen movies and shows.
